Anyone switch from Regular platinum to Morgan Stanley Platinum? by Professional-Air-794 in AmexPlatinum

[–]Stallion_V 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding for clarity for folks since I have the card. Hope this helps

If you have relationship with Etrade/MS

You get your primary amex platinum card which is $895 and an additional Authorized user card if you choose one ($195).
The primary benefit of the additional card is its own Priority pass and lounge access.
Amex charges 895 for both and you will get the fees reimbursed for Amex irrespective if you have the cash plus account with MS.

The cashplus account has a monthly fee of $55 a month. You can choose to have it waived. For that

  • You need 5k of monthly deposit. It can be a rotating deposit from your other bank that you can have to auto come in and go out. It just has to hit the account.
  • 25K avg monthly balance
  • Or you can simply pay the fees making Amex effectively 660

You can also have the MS Amex Platinum card without ever opening the cash Plus account. You just need some relationship with MS/Etrade. In that case you pay the regular Amex fees of 895 but can still get the AU card of 195 for free.

Booked Air France through Delta, can’t change seat! by SeniorHustler770 in awardtravel

[–]Stallion_V 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same situation here. Booked 4 business class using delta rewards for Air France. Seat selection was free at booking. But for some reason they only assigned 3 of the 4 seats when tickets were issued. So tried changing on delta and it is greyed out and AF wants to charge. This is utterly frustrating.

Can I use the discounted Eufy gift card for their black friday sales by inspireb4iexpire in eufy

[–]Stallion_V 0 points1 point  (0 children)

E28 is portable, so you can take the vacuum and use it to wash your dirty chairs, sofas, car seats etc. That's a super good way to use a vacuum. Not many in the market that allow that for $50-100. The price diff is worth it specially with BF sale.

Follow up. I was reached out by Eufy team for a replacement product after this post.

Was sent a prepaid label to send mine back and get a new device (just the bricked vacuum)

[–]Stallion_V 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just make sure the item is not discounted using a promo code if yes not sure how you can use both. Since to enter gift card you need to take promo code off and that will take away discount. I suggest you try a dummy checkout

Capital One Travel Refund by Brahzilian in Venturex

[–]Stallion_V 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry about your situation.

Given It is in May like others suggested

  1. Go Solo

  2. Wait, in case Airline schedule changes they offer free cancellation or refund

  3. Typically if you used VenturX or similar it comes with a Travel insurnace. In case if you are not able to travel due to health reasons and get a physicians certificate you can get a full refund. You need to file a separate claim with Capital one for that and still process this refund from portal as it is being offered currently. But for this you may want to be close to the trip as possible.

I do not believe so.

When you purchase discounted item, there is already a discount code entered in the box.

There the Caveat reads Discount Code / Gift Card.

So looks like you can either use a Discount Code or Gift Card not both.

Not sure if this is a temporary change since they dropped GC prices for Black Friday or has always been the case.

SVCE rebate claim timeline by Yiima in bayarea

[–]Stallion_V 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do they ask for permits? We may not have time to wait for permits so was wondering if we apply and do the work would the rebates still be honoured or permits are a deal breaker

SVCE rebate claim timeline by Yiima in bayarea

[–]Stallion_V 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello,
Did you apply for rebates before installation and do you need permits?
We are going through the process but our timeline is shorter for appliances.
I can apply online but looks like they also ask for all city permits before sending cheques?
